Cipha Sounds Leaves Hot 97

After much speculation it was announced today that Cipha Sounds will be leaving Hot 97 after 17 years of service. The Dj is the latest in the line of big names to leave the station which in the last year has seen Angie Martinez & Mister Cee depart. Peep Cipha’s official statement below which sounds like he has lined up a power move already.

“After 17 years, I’m leaving Hot 97. I¹m changing my relationship status from ‘it¹s complicated’ to ‘single’. It¹s been an amazing ride – from intern to weekends to morning show host to fill Angie¹s seat in afternoons. Many years of incredible, life-changing experiences and enough amazing memories to last five lifetimes. The next move is already underway and I promise it’s going to be huge.”
